Prologue

It was at this moment, we lost after all we did to rise up here, all I can do is watch, I held Rumi in my arms as I could no longer fight nor can I move any further knowing that Mori and Akari are unconcious, while my best friend, Kaito, using his last bits of strength to fight Zetsubō.

Kaito continued to clash swords with his ruthless opponent, who endlessly and tirelessly kept going as they both fought. I couldn't take it anymore, I only wanted it to end where we all left together knowing we did what we wanted to accomplish. Minutes past and Kaito was too exhausted to fight, and that is where Zetsubō took the final blow, watching my best friend die before my eyes, falling to the ground motionless... could this be the end for us? Our great journey?

"No" I finally spoke "it cannot end here, not now" I put Rumi down and slowly stood up one more time as my legs shook. This was my last stand, I grabbed my sword from the ground and faced Zetsubō once more, "It won't end here, my friend will not die in vain all because of one person to end our journey here" I said to him faintly. "That is what all who made it this far said to me, I am what you call despair, there is nothing left to do for you" He responded. "Then we'll find a way to get out of this cursed place, even if it costs my life!"
